Chapter 138: What level of player is An Xi?

"Three-point! Anxi!" shouted from DJ, and Anxi hit his fourth three-pointer of the game to extend the team's lead to five points. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Bobcats' offense, Codyzeller's low-post single, attracted a ground-to-ground pass after the pinch shot, and gave the spleen to the basket Smeymbo Biyombo, Biyombo received the ball and jumped up, and won the dunk.

3-point difference, 76ers' offense, this time, Anxi did not get the ball again, Sean Livingston controlled the rhythm and held the ball at the top of the arc.

An Xi came out from the bottom corner, and the top of the arc was hand-to-hand, and the Bobcat also changed defenses, and Kemba Walker defended directly in front of An Xi.

For his former college teammate, Kemba Walker has become more and more incomprehensible, Anxi has always been a defensive engineer in college, no one thought that after entering the NBA, Anxi will grow all the way, and now he is a big step ahead of everyone.

The players who participated in the draft in 11 years, the best development at present, is Anxi, who was selected in the penultimate that year, and Kemba Walker himself has developed well, but now compared with Anxi, it is far behind.

After changing defenses, he also faced An Xi for the first time......

Anxi's continuous crotch dribbling and feints on the outside line soon waited for Cole Aldridge's cover, after the cover, Anxi directly moved a step sideways and came to the position outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, Kemba Walker was blocked by Cole Aldridge A solid one, after Anxi moved sideways, he still had to shoot three points!

Spleen Smew Biyombo pounced, Anxi still shot, he met Biyombo's supplementary defense, and threw out the three-point shot.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, fell directly into the basket, and hit the three-point again!

Seeing Anxi's consecutive three-point shots, the 76ers fans in the Wachovia Arena seemed to be going crazy, and suddenly let out loud roars and cheers, cheering one after another, and this three-point shot was also Anxi's fifth three-point shot in this game, and his consecutive three-point shots have helped the 76ers expand the difference to 6 points.

You know, before Anxi didn't play in the second quarter, the Bobcats played a wave of 10:0 on the 76ers' bench under the leadership of Kemba Walker, but as soon as Anxi came out, he hit two three-pointers in a row, and with his own three-point accuracy, he actually pulled back the momentum of the 76ers' collapse, and gradually began to expand his lead, completely single-handedly, reversing the situation on the court.

The 76ers fans cheered wildly, and the atmosphere reached its climax, so much so that when the Bobcats attacked, a deafening unison shout directly sounded on the side of the court - "defense!"

Kemba Walker was beaten by Anxi, he wanted to fight back, although he had a good relationship with Anxi, but it was an off-field relationship, and there was still a need for-for-tat on the field.

So after half time, Kemba Walker rushed directly towards Anxi with the ball, and Anxi was ready early after his own half, and he also took the initiative to change the defense of Kemba Walker, wanting to open up the point difference before halftime, so the team's defense must do better.

Kemba Walker dribbled to Anxi's face, and after only making a feint, he wanted to use his speed to force Anxi directly.

Obviously, Kemba Walker was impulsive, they didn't realize how strong Anxi's defense was, and they didn't realize that he was fast, but Anxi was faster.

So, Kemba Walker broke through quickly, and the first time he accelerated was directly blocked by Anxi, and then Anxi used his chest to stick to Kemba Walker's arm, and then reached out sideways to grab a basketball in Kemba Walker's hand, wanting to steal.

Kemba Walker finally realized what he was doing, and he quickly dodged it, letting Anxi's steal miss, but for Kemba Walker, the ensuing problem was that he was held by Anxi at the top of the three-point arc, at this time he had wasted too much time, and the team's offense had not made the slightest progress.

"Pass, pass!" It wasn't until six seconds left on the offensive clock that Steve Clifford reminded Kemba Walker off the court, and although the voice was completely drowned out by the chorus shouts of the 76ers fans, Kemba Walker still heard Steve Clifford's roar.

He raised his head and glanced at the chronograph in front of him with some surprise, there was indeed not much time left!

Just when Kemba Walker wanted to pass the ball, Anxi found the opportunity, suddenly leaned sideways forward, aimed at the basketball in Kemba Walker's hand, snapped, and directly slapped the basketball down!

"Steal!" was Reggie Miller's voice, and on the court, Anxi had already broken off the basketball and started to launch a fast attack.

"Attack, Attack!"

James Anderson had already reacted, and together with Shaun Livingston, he rushed to the front court as soon as possible.

Anxi first passed the ball to Shaun Livingston, and after Shaun Livingston hit the frontcourt, he dodged Gary Neil's defense and made a ground-hitting pass to James Anderson, who made a layup and expanded the margin to 8 points.

This is not over, the 76ers once again defended the Bobcats' offense, Kemba Walker continued to play single, Anxi also continued to defend alone, Kemba Walker forced the inside, and then made a stop-and-go jump shot, Anxi turned around and jumped high to interfere, and with a bang, Kemba Walker's stop-and-go jump shot hit the iron.

Anxi was also interested, and after Cole Aldridge grabbed the rebound, he opened his hand to pass the basketball and control it to the frontcourt.

After a pick-and-roll cooperation between outside players, Anxi faced Kemba Walker on the offensive end.

"Kemba, your pull-up jump shot is too bad, look at me!"

An Xi blinked his smug little eyes, and then regardless of Kemba Walker's reaction, he directly accelerated past Kemba Walker.

Kemba Walker was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately moved sideways, outflanking Anxi, and the Bobcat also withdrew a Kodi Zele, wanting to block Anxi.

But Anxi only rushed one step towards the three-point line, and then made an emergency stop, shook off everyone, and shot a two-point shot from a long distance.

With a bang, the basketball hit cleanly.

10 points! Once again, the margin stretched to double digits, and Steve Clifford called a timeout urgently, and then replaced Al Jefferson to strengthen the team's interior offense.

After the timeout, the 76ers also replaced Jack Crowder and Pau Gasol, both sides of which were a semi-main lineup, and the core players were on the court, obviously going to have a showdown at the end of the second quarter.

After the main force came out, the Bobcats played a combination of internal and external attacks, and the situation was stabilized for a while, and the scores of the two teams began to rise alternately, and the difference between the two teams was always 10 points.

It wasn't until there were two and a half minutes left in the third quarter that Anxi assisted Jack Crowder to hit a three-pointer to extend the gap by one point.

But this three-point shot seemed to have used up all the shooting touch of the 76ers, and in the remaining 2 minutes or so, the 76ers didn't score a single goal, and let the Bobcats recover some points difference.

Al Jefferson's outburst helped the Bobcats start chasing the score, and he continued to force Cole Aldridge on the inside until 19 seconds left in the second quarter, Al Jefferson hit a turnaround hook to tie the score at 50-50.

The 76ers still had the ball on the final offense, but at the end of the second quarter, they really played a little poorly, and Brett Brown was not satisfied and called a timeout.

"Where's your touch? Have you been eaten by a dog?" As soon as he came, Brett Brown was angry, and it is no wonder that in the last 2 minutes, the 76ers did not score a point, but let the Bobcats score 11 points in a row and equalize the score.

In fact, not only the offense, but also the defense was not done well.

After Brett Brown sent a fire, he didn't specifically arrange the play of the last ball, he directly let the main team play, and then handed the ball to Anxi.

An Xi didn't refuse, and the last attack should indeed be handled by him.

Anxi dribbled the ball himself past the half, and it was still McGee who was defending him by the Bobcats.

After halftime, Anxi controlled the time, until there were six seconds left in the game, he suddenly accelerated towards the left side of McGee, McKiji noticed Anxi's strong burst, he knew that Anxi was ready to use his physical advantage to force a breakthrough through him.

McKiji also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to push out strongly, so he could only find a way to entangle An Xi, and finally interfere when An Xi was about to make a move.

On the right side of the free throw line, McGee continued to entangle Anxi, but Anxi suddenly stopped and jumped up directly, although he was afraid that Anxi was a cheater foul, but McKiji still jumped up and blocked Anxi's eyes with his own hands.

But under McGee's surprised gaze, Anxi actually began to move sideways in the air, twisting his waist and abdomen, as if he was changing shapes, and teleported to the other side in the air, dodging McGee's interference.

"Buzz!"

At the moment when Anxi threw the basketball out, the timer beeped at the end of the half, and the basketball easily drilled into the basket, bringing up a burst of white net flowers, and Anxi couldn't bear the inertia and fell directly to the floor.

"Goal!

Although it was only a buzzer-beating shot just before halftime, Reggie Miller was thrilled and hard to believe because Anxi threw a step-back jumper with a drift.

"Oh no! What did Anxi do? He threw a backward jumper in a drift! It's incredible!"

"There are many players in the active squad who can shoot in the drift, but I have only seen Kobe Bryant with a large drift like Anxi, and now Kobe Bryant is seriously injured, and only Anxi can do that......"

On the court, the referee signaled that the goal was valid, the scoreboard flashed, and at 52:50, at halftime, the 76ers' lead was only 2 points.

In the second half, the Bobcats suddenly became stronger, as if they had suddenly opened the second line, and they continued their excellent form in the second quarter, constantly attacking the basket through Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson to get easy scoring opportunities.

The 76ers also made timely adjustments and asked Anxi to switch to Kemba Walker, but Kemba Walker is not so easy to guard, or in other words, Kemba Walker, who has gradually found his senses, is difficult to completely defend.

On the 76ers' side, because of the strong attack of the Bobcats in the opening game, they were confused for a while, and Brett Brown's timeout was adjusted in time.

But then, the Bobcats took this opportunity to bite the 76ers to the death.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams actually tied at 77, and the tenacity of the Bobcats was astonishing, and no one would have thought that the Bobcats, who lost 26 points in the last game, would keep biting the score in this game.

Even if they are hit by the 76ers with a wave of scoring climaxes, they can quickly return a scoring climax and then chase the score back.

The 76ers have not been able to open up the difference, it seems that their performance in this game is very average, but Anxi's personal performance is still very good, after the third quarter, Anxi has hit 7 three-pointers, according to Reggie Miller's words, Anxi's personal performance reminds people of the finals last year, the night when Anxi broke the record for three-point shooting in a single game in the playoffs.

To this day, the record for the number of three-point shots in a single game in the NBA playoffs is still held by Anxi personally, ten, Anxi hit 7 in this game, and if there are four more in the fourth quarter, it will be able to break the personal record.

7 three-pointers, bringing Anxi 29 points in the third quarter, plus 8 assists and 2 steals and 1 block, Anxi's individual performance is still the best in the game, but helplessly, Anxi's performance is excellent, Bobcats' performance is not bad, Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson have shown great strength and look unstoppable.

The game came to the winning fourth quarter.

The 76ers started strongly, scoring five points in a row to overtake the score and lead the Bobcats by five points at 82:77.

But the Bobcats weren't fuel-efficient either, and they replicated the first three quarters of the game and then then the score, continuing to play efficient offense in the fourth quarter, closing the score to 88-91 with five minutes left in the game, and the Bobcats trailed by only three points.

The final five crucial minutes will decide the outcome of this game.

The Bobcats were hoping to defend the ball and then tie it with a three-pointer, and the 76ers desperately needed a goal to secure their lead, and in that case, Anxi got the ball again.

Anxi dribbled past half court, and in the face of McGee's menacing defense, Anxi stretched out a hand and directed his teammates' runs, as if to open up space and let him play alone.

So, McGee defended more seriously, he really wanted to defend this ball, he lowered the center of gravity of his body, and guarded against Anxi's accelerated breakthrough at any time.

An Xi was indeed ready to break through, he quickly started to dribble under his crotch, and added some cross-step movements, and then, with a sudden change of direction, rushed towards the inside.

However, McGee's defense was not covered, he saw through Anxi's change of direction feint, and directly moved sideways, blocking Anxi's body.

With a bang, the two collided together, but fortunately, no one wanted to fake a foul on their opponent.

As for Anxi, it was not surprising that he was stopped by Mykiji, and he had a plan for it.

He leaned directly against McGee, a big turn of three hundred and sixty degrees, and then a big change of direction directly!

Now, it's completely past McGee!

Rushing into the inner line, Anxi directly made a stop-and-go jumper, and Anxi also used a few stop-and-go jumpers in this game, and the newly upgraded stop-and-go jumper attributes are still very comfortable to use, and there is a feeling of surprise.

With a bang, the emergency stop jump shot hit again, An Xi raised his hand high, and after the ball was hit, the difference widened to 5 points.

The Bobcats' offense, or Kemba Walker holds the ball, this game, Anxi is also a bit of a sieve, Kemba Walker always attacks from outside the three-point line, through blocking and dismantling cover, after changing defenses, or breaking through the pull-up jump shot, or passing to Josh McRoberts who blocks and dismantles, to make further offensive responses, or end the offense.

And this time, it's the same routine, Josh McRoberts, who has a certain ability to respond on the outside, pulls to the high post, and after a high block and cover, Josh McRoberts immediately goes down, and then raises his hand to ask for the ball.

Because it seems that Anxi has gone to block Kemba Walker and let go of Josh McRoberts.

Kemba Walker didn't hesitate and hoisted the ball directly into the inside, Josh McRoberts got the basketball, and Omir Asik hurriedly went to make up for it.

At this point, McGee found a good opportunity and cut into the basket empty-handed.

Josh McRoberts came in with a deft ground-and-shot return pass, and the basketball was immediately in McKigie's hands.

McGee jumped up from a meter in front of the basket, pulled up his whole body, and was ready to make a slam dunk!

But at this time, An Xi had already come to the basket, he came to make up for it, and his keen sense of smell made An Xi speed up his pace, and finally at the moment when McKiji was about to dunk violently, a big hand pressed on the basketball fiercely!

With a snap, a huge impact directly pumped the basketball away!

It's an absolute big hat!

Although Al Jefferson quickly raised his hand to signal that it was a foul, the referee saw it very clearly, it was definitely not a foul, it was a clean block!

Anxi's block sent the basketball off the sideline, and the ball was still the Bobcats', but they needed to reorganize the offense.

After reorganizing the offense, time was running out, and Kemba Walker's hasty outside shot missed under Anxi's interference.

Pau Gasol on the inside grabbed the rebound, and the 76ers continued to attack......

At the end of the fourth quarter, Anxi exploded, first hitting a pull-up jump shot, then a big hat McGee, and then a three-pointer to extend the margin to 8 points.

Finally, in the 49th second before the end of the game, Anxi hit his ninth three-pointer of the game to extend the difference to 10 points and seal the victory.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Bobcats at home with a difference of 115:105, 10 points, and the total score in the first round was 2:0, and in this game, the best Anxi scored 44 points alone and 15 points in the fourth quarter to help the 76ers win this somewhat difficult game.

In addition to scoring, Anxi also got 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, the only pity is that Anxi only hit 9 three-pointers, and almost broke his own single-game playoff three-point record again.

After the game, this game, before the game, was once dominated by McCarvey, but as the game progressed, the tenacity of the Bobcats, Anxi stood up again and told everyone that in Philadelphia, in the Wachovia Arena, the only protagonist can only be Anxi himself!

"Anxi scored 44 points alone, assists also double-doubled, and 3 steals and 2 blocks, his performance is as good and key as ever, if it is a key step for Anxi to become a superstar in the regular season, then the 44 points in this game have been announced, Anxi is a new generation of superstars in the league. After the game, Reggie Miller gave his opinion on Anxi.

"Anxi is still very young, he is not yet 26 years old, for Anxi, he still has a bright future, maybe we should consider Anxi's historical status, he is now a shooting guard, I think, if Anxi develops well, he will definitely surpass me in the ranking of all-time scoring guards......"

Reggie Miller's words caused a certain degree of surprise in North America, you know, the older generation of stars are the kind of character who doesn't accept anyone, Reggie Miller doesn't even accept Michael Jordan, but he now thinks that Anxi can surpass himself, which is very bizarre.

Is Reggie Miller dreaming? Is he talking in his sleep? Obviously not, obviously, it was Anxi's performance that moved Regie Miller......

Also because of Reggie Miller's words, the NBA discussed Anxi more.

In the first two games of the playoffs led by the team alone, Anxi averaged 35.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 12.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 2.0 blocks per game.

As a result, such a discussion about what level of player Anxi is began to heat up in North America. (To be continued.) )
